Google Camel: Google Maps Street View for the Desert

Will Google’s very high tech way to map cities, streets and space, it chose the most conventional solution to map vast amounts of desert land. It’s called Google Camel.

We’ve normally see the multi-camera setup on top cars along EDSA (spotted one last year here) in January this year when Google formally introduced Street View in the Philippines.

We’ve also seen the Trekker which can be mounted at the back of a person like a backpack (Google used this to map a walking tour of Intramuros).

For other regions like the desert, Google picked a camel. It’s the first animal they’ve used to do such a task.
